TRICS® is a database system comprising a large number of records of individual developments across a wide range of land use categories.

Individual TRICS® site records are the most comprehensive and robust of any trip rate information database, containing details of a site’s local environment and surroundings, information on the site’s structure and operations, and uninterrupted hourly arrival and departure transport data.

TRICS® can also analyse individual or selected sets of survey counts to produce trip rate information. Users can fine-tune whole land use categories (superstores, offices, schools, residential developments, a total of 110 separate categories), so that a final selected data set is shortlisted, based on a wide range of compatibility requirements.

Once a trip rate calculation has been produced, the information can be output and used as part of a Transport Assessment. Also, individual trip rates for a given time period for a number of surveys can be calculated and ranked, displaying worse and best case scenarios.
